The Ministry of Health has commenced a three-day spot visits to Government Hospitals across Moyamba, Pujehun, and Bo, as an effort to improve healthcare delivery across Sierra Leone.
The high-level delegation, led by the Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sartie Kenneh, aims to assess the quality of service delivery, staff performance, and progress of ongoing infrastructure development in these facilities.
In Moyamba, the team met with hospital management, frontline healthcare workers, and community stakeholders. The visit addressed critical service delivery challenges, including staffing shortages, equipment functionality, and drug availability.
A key step taken was a visit to the construction site of the new 100-bed Moyamba and Pujehun District Hospital.
The team expressed satisfaction with the progress and reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring the timely completion and commissioning of the modern facilities.
According to the Ministry of Health, once completed, those hospitals are expected to significantly improve access to quality healthcare for residents of the districts.
The health workers are the most corrupt people in this country but the focus is on the police. All the free health care drugs that the government distribute to all the hospitals throughout the country are in the hands of the nurses and the doctors. To this day, pregnant women and children under five are paying to access medication. For instance, in Bo, pregnant women and children pay for a check-up, scanning, and even for entering their names in the ledger at the hospital. The Ministry of Health should have informed the hospitals about their visitation. If the Ministry of Health truly wants to unearth the level of the government hospitals in this country, let them pay a surprise visit.
